That, or lower their price. Although I think they'd be more interesting with an extra sorcery pick.

While the Grand Thaumaturg might be able to reanimate longdead warriors, doing so prevents him from being able to cast ritual spells or research.

Reanimating longdeads is a loss of time with the GTs. It's much more effective to have standard Thaumaturgs reanimate armored soulless where battles just took place, and use communions to boost their pitiful fighting skills with a battlefield-wide Power of the Sepulchre. Nowadays I'm using Cultists with crystal matrices as communion leaders - the GTs tend to "waste" fresh corpses by casting Raise Dead in battle.

As an final note, it would be really cool if they started with access to both behemoth and body ethereal pre-researched.

Cool - and brutal.
